    EA, very true. When a baby gets too tired, its body releases stimulating 'awake' hormones to help it stay awake (think like when you have a shot of caffeine), so then when you go to put it asleep, it finds it hard to combat those hormones and actually fall asleep. I think that's the science behind it anyway ;).

    i found that my kids slept better at night if they had a sleep during the day!

    need to put the babies in bed but they are chasing the kittens and then the kittens are chasing them so i think ill leave them to run about a little longer :D

  • Evening all :D

    I didn't get up until 9.30am this morning :cool: Benjamin had been awake for a while but was happy singing to himself in his cot so I left him to it so I could have a doze!!

    We went to Amerton Farm this afternoon to look at the animals and go on the little steam train (which Benjamin loved!). And stopped at a pub for Sunday Lunch on the way home so I had my first carbs for months! Was a bit strange eating roast potatoes and yorkie puds but I did enjoy them and I thought I deserved a treat having lost 21 pounds to date :D

    Benjamin only managed about 40 mins sleep all day though so he went to bed without a peep at 6.30pm.


    Hope you had a lovely day Mel - I have been thinking about you today x

    Hope everyone else is well xx

    LOL that's a bit of A trek but it will be good to meet you :) Only potential problem is that where I am at Trafford is a not that easy to get to from the city centre which I'm guessing is where you're train is coming into so it may be easier for you to get another train from the centre to the Monkey place - I think MFD said there was a station nearby?

    Ah, oh well, never mind, thank you anyway - it is going to be just too much for us to get there. I shall have to wait to meet up with you all again :(

    MDW - :eek: I've not even rang them yet and I need space for about 15 :o They have huge picnic tables so am hoping weather is nice so we can sit outside. Katie will have lots of fun cos you can get right down to the water and go crabbing :D

    What time do I need to book a table for? :j

    Does your whisperer book say anything about settling a baby with night-time seperation anxiety?

    Mel - I hope all went well today :A

    I've had my sea bands on constantly for the last 8 weeks or so... The time I forgot to put them on after I got out of the shower I ended up bent over the kitchen sink heaving... They definitely work... They don't stop you feeling sick completely but they take the edge off...

    That farm looks lovely Mfd, bit more upmarket than Ash End lol...
    A very proud Mummy to 3 beautiful girls... I do pity my husband though, he's the one to suffer the hormones...
    Krystal is so smart and funny and wonderful I am struck dumb in awe in her presence.
